‘BETTER HOMES CRY BEING SENT • 01)11$ WEEK Great Stress Is Laid on the Woman-Planned Kitchen of Today, Better kitchens will play a prominent part in the information _sent out by Better Homes in America. Kitchen contests are featured this week by communities all over the nation, says'a dispatch from Washington. “Come out of the kitchen” was the cry a few years ago. But “come into the kitchen” is the note today, “Better Homes in America” points out. This humble workshop of the American home no longer needs to play the grisly part of the skeleton in the closet. The tendency is more and more to plan and to build and to equip the home with one eye always on the kitchen. Not infrequently plans of up-to-date architects show’ the kitchen situated toward the front of the house, and care is taken to place its windows where they will give the housewife the best possible view. Convenient Kitchens Better Homes in America, however, lavs even more emphasis upon the kitchen convenience than upon Hecorative features. The old-style Kitchen, generally speaking, is a Iniracle of misarrangenient, conclusively proving very few builders have ever been women. The housewife in such a kitchen takes hundreds of extra steps in the performance of her daily work. Estimates differ, a3 housewives do, too. But •whatever the mileage that the average housewife travels, the distance can be divided by one-half by a thoroughly convenient kitchen. A kitchen of small or moderate size Is better than a large one. Emphasis is laid upon the logical placing of sink, table, shelves, range and china cabinet, so as to require the minimum number of steps. Castors ©n the kitchen table will subtract miles from the weekly journey. Placement of Sinks Sink's should be placed at the correct height so that the woman who works at them need not stoop at her labor. A double drain board is a time-saver out of all proportion to its original cost. A sanitary garbage pail under the sink, which ©pens with a foot-lever, is more to be desired than satin pillows in the parlor—from the standpoint of convenience, anyhow. Jumper Dresses The sweater and skirt costume, popular for so many seasons, is giving way’ this year to a jumper dress • one material such as kasha, rep jer9ey.

Women in Politics Must ‘Watch Their Step’

By HORTENSE SAUNDERS SEA Service Writer EHERE is no royal road to political leadership for a woman any more than for a man, according to Emily Newell Blair, vice chairman of the Democratic party, who holds the highest political office of any woman in the country today. “We have two types of women in politics,” she explains to me. “One is merely the unconscious tool of a group of men wpo have decided that an office should be given to a woman whom they select regardless of qualifications. “The other is the woman who works up through the ranks just as all the real leader* of men have done, starting in her own precinct, then gradually working up to State and National politics, and building a following as she goes.” Needless to say, it is the latter type which must be developed. Airs. Blair believes. "To put a womah, unused to political and public life, in an office that requires a thorough knowledge of issues and the technique of statesmanship is to hinder rather than help women’s progress,” she continued. The policy that women should stick together and vote for a woman running for office merely through sex loyalty is the greatest mistake.

ways. It has found two film combatants. One disintegrates the film at all stages of formation. One removes it without hrfrmful scouring. Able authorities have proved these methods effective. A newtype tooth paste has been created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent. Leading dentists the world over have been urging its adoption. Now careful people of some 50 nations use this modem method. Feel it act. See its results Pepsodent does other things important. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, which is there to neutralize mouth acids. It multiplies the ptyalin in saliva, which is there to digest starch deposits on teeth. These factors combined bring one results amazing and delightful. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film.

than for a woman who has nothing to recommend her but her willingness to serve. “Few women are really equipped at present for the positions of the greatest political importance because they are new at politics. And it is much better at this critical time in our progress to have men fail than women because we have come to accept incompetence on the part of men, but every wornin in public office who fails becomes a shining example.” It is perfectly natural, she believes, for woman to be impatient of the tedious processes of political progress, but developing leaders in any field is not a short-cut proposition. Airs. Blair herself grew up in a family where politics formed the main topic of conversation, and she was prominent in the suffrage campaign. For the last four years she has been an organizer and leader of women in her party. “Women are tremendously important this election, whether ms voters or office seekers, and both parties are playing for the ‘wife vote,” ” she concluded. “Nothing can stop women’s political progress, but we can retard it by seek- 1 ing to carry before we are ready the loads that come to us when we are strong enough to assume them.”

Martha Lee Says Wife Sees Vacation as Way of Reviving Love

“Tu ‘TsinglQ LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RUTH ELLINGTON. DEAR RUTH: Well, here I am in the bosom of my family, and one of them at least seems absolutely a stranger to me. My dear, my dear, those pearls have bobbed up again. Although Karl has given Alice a magnificent string which cost a hundred thousand dollars, I have reason to believe that she covets mine as well. The other night she and Karl and I were sitting alone at a restaurant table. Alice had . made such a fuss about her pearls that out of sheer perverseness I put that string of mine on. The moment her eyes caught them, a peculiar look came on her face, and she said in a rather tight-lipped manner to Karl: “Karl, dear, now that l see Leslie's pearls. I think they are more beautiful than mine. Os course her string is not us long, but the pearls seem of better quality.” Karl looked very uncomfortable, and I tried to change the subject of conversation by saying: “Did you and your friend, Betty Stokely, ever finish that novel you were writing?” “No,” she answered. “Betty, you know, married a title, and you got in such a tnixup with your pearls that I didn't dare write it up for fear John would find it out. “Any time you want to sell your string, Leslie, I’m quite sure Karl will repurchase them for me." “I couldn't think of it,” said Karl hastily. “You know, of coure, Alice, that if you want another string of pearls L shall be glad to buy them for you, but that string that Leslie has on is concerned with associations only of her.” Alice looked furious, and Karl miserable. For a moment I wished that I could throw my pearls at her. I have never worn them that they haven't brought me some annoyance or ill luck. Nothing more, however, was said about them during the supper, and when I got to my room that night. Alice came through the connecting door. She looked gorgeously beautiful in a pink chiffon velvet negligee, but there was a frown on her face and she fairly towered above me. “Leslie," she said. “I've come to ask a favor of you. I want you to give me that string of pearls that Karl gave you, for my wedding present.” I must have looked surprised at her request, for she continued. “I don’t care if Karl asked you not to give them to me. I don't care if you do think I’m jealou of Karl. I am not happy when I see his pearls about your neck and know that he bought them one by one over the long years that he loved you, while mine, though perhaps more expensive, was the ordinary gift that a man who had plenty of money might make to some woman who wanted them.” What shall I do, Ruth? Shall I give them to her? LESLIE. (Copyright, 1624. Nea Service. Inc.) Next: Telegram from Ruth Ellington to Leslie Prescott.

They could give a few helpful hints to Mr. and Airs. Average Alan. When Mrs. Alan finds herself irritable all the time, - hating for her husband to come home in the evenings, despising the very thought of washing dishes, she should take a vacation. She should get away from home and family. She would be glad to get back, when the vacation time was up. Another time when it is good for wife to-go vacationing is when she sees that her husband is showing signs of being tired of married life! when he doesn't appreciate any* thing she does, and uses cross words more often than loving ones. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Vacations prove.it. Vacation for Her Dear Miss Lee: I am a girl 19 years old and have been married several months. Sometimes I am awfully blue and unhappy. I love my husband very much and do everything I can to make our home a hapyy one. I stay home and work all the time, so I ean have my house clean and my husband’s meals on time. I do not believe my husband cares for me any more. Sometimes he is all right. Other times he says he wants to be free. Then he acts as though I were not within miles. If I say anything he gives me a hateful answer. A couple of his relatives live with us. Do you think if we lived alone we would be better off? We never quarrel, and I don't nag at him. I have heard he cared for someone else, but I haven't much faith in the person who told me. My husband is three years my senior. Before we were married he said he was through running around and wanted to settle down. Do you think if I would take a vacation for a month and let my husband do as he pleased, to give him a trial, he would change any? And if he didn't change, should I get a divorce? AN UNHAPPY WIFE. Your vacation plan is,a good one, I think. Let your husband know that, if he continues to treat you as he has treated you in the past, you will make the vacation a permanent one. You certainly should get away from your husband's relatives. Inlaws, when they live with a young couple, almost invariably complicate marriage. Girls Puzzled Dear Miss Lee: I am a girl 17 years old. 1.
